| Transcript | Mrs Kirkpatrick Hazelbank Craigs Belfast Antrim Ireland 17th Nov - 1874 My Dearest Aunt My week for writing has again come round, it is some time since any of us has heard from you, I hope there may be a letter soon for somebody, as we are always anxious to hear _ I got the Belfast paper last week as usual & the week before a [----?] ["Wi-----"?] giving a most interesting account of some of the meetings of Mr Mc Moody & [------?] - I think the paper came from Norn [Northern?] Ireland I saw by the "Wailer" last week and also by the Belfast paper that they were now in Dublin, & drawing big crowds. Surely they must be doing great goods & I hope it may not wear off. Dear Uncle George & Albert heard them & what did they think of them? I should like to know their opinion - So many who have not heard them are inclined to think it will wear off but I hope & [----?] it may not It is wonderful how many of these good men are coming forward & really are most [-----?] There is now a Mr [-----y?] in Toronto preaching & he is very much liked I hope he may come to Peterboro, I have a great wish to hear some of these good men -- I hope dear Aunt you have been quite well since we last heard & that you have been free from rheumatism as many here are complaining this autumn of it altho [although?] it has been an unusually dry Autumn & not very damp The frost here kept off & allowed the farmers to get their ploughing done, & every thing done comfortably up before the winter our long dreary winters are a great drawback & I think as I grow older I dislike them more as they are much colder & one has to stay more in the house. I think when I last wrote to you dear Anna H--y was staying with me I did enjoy her visit so much Do you con hear from any of the other ones dear Aunt? Where are the girls living now I have not heard from them for a long time We know so little of any of those who used to correspond regulary with dear mother I never hear a word from the Allenstown people of late The Dunlops & Browns are quite well Charles very much better - he has grown very deaf - I am expecting Mary here tomorrow to spend a few days with us - We are all well I am happy to say & very as usual - & now my dear Aunt I hope Geraldine & the children are quite well - I suppose she is busy preparing for the little change - I don't think Anna Collins has begun again she is not very strong - I think it would be very nice if little Charley had a little sister I am afraid he will be spoiled Will you give my love to dear Uncle & the rest of your circle & hoping soon to hear from you [----?] my dear aunt Your Attached Neice Bessie Brown |
